  1. South Australian Centre for Renewable Energy TAFE SA Regional Whyalla Campus

  2. BACKGROUND • Growing community demand for solar and domestic wind turbine installation for Electrical Contractors has energized the establishment of a new training centre at TAFE SA Regional Whyalla Campus. • In response to local industry demand and the Government’s commitment to environmental sustainability Whyalla Campus will be building and commissioning a new Centre for Renewable Energy to be completed end July 2012.

  3. EQUIPMENT • Fixed roof mount solar PV systems • Tracking solar PV system • Grid connected wind turbine system (Skystream) • HybridGEN (variable speed DC generator) • Battery bank and bi-directional grid forming inverters • State of the art live monitoring system

  4. ROOF MODULES Corrugated Roof Tiled Roof T-Deck Flat Roof

  5. TEACHING • Students will complete competencies from the UEE22107 National Qualifications with competencies specifically selected to provide training in new and emerging clean technologies and services • Outcome for students will be the: • Certificate 2 in Sustainable Energy/Career start (Prevocational/pre apprenticeship course linked with Electrical) • Certificate 2 in Renewable Energy • Certificate 4 in Electrical • Certificate 4 in Renewable Energy

  6. UNITS OF COMPETENCY • Apply OHS practices in the workplace • Solve problems in extra-low voltage single path circuits • Solve problems in multiple path dc. circuits • Provide basic sustainable energy solutions for energy reduction in domestic premises • Apply sustainable energy practices in daily activities • Promote sustainable energy practice in the community • Use basic computer applications relevant to a workplace • Dismantle, assemble and fabricate electro-technology components • Use drawings, diagrams, schedules and manuals • Lay wiring/cabling and terminate accessories for extra-low voltage circuits • Fix and secure equipment • Safe working at heights

  7. RENEWABLE ENERGY MONITORING SYSTEM • Unique use in TAFE • Web based and can be accessed by other computers on the network • It can access devices remotely using Modbus TCP/IP over their network ie: if they wish to monitor another campus, it is easy to implement • Multiple students can access at the same time • Logged data can be extracted into Excel or CSV format for detailed analysis ie: solar irradiation and power output of the inverters.

  8. OUTCOMES • Computer technology allows students to monitor the power generated daily in varying weather conditions. • Site development will prove to be a valuable learning experience for all students that are involved and will play an important part of the hands-on component of the course.
